A search warrant was then issued, and

A GALLANT NEGRO.
He Earns Medal by Heroic Con-

New YORK, July 15.-Frank Robin
son, the colored hero, who saved the
lives of nine persons who were aboard
the yacht Mystery, when she capsized
in Jamaica bay Sunday, is to be pre-
sented with a handsome gold medal by
the Windward club, as a testimonial to
his bravery. The club. which has taken
the first step toward rewarding Robinson,
is composed of business men of this city
who sail their boats i'll Jamaica bay.
The medal will be of gold, lightweight
pennyweights. The design is unique
and appropriate. From bar on which
is to be engraved, Presented TO Frank

tive yawl emblematical of the boat
which Robinson used; from the
boat. and connected with it by small
anchor chains, will hang the medal it.

these words, used by Robinson when
the shipwrecked pleasure seekers
scrambled for his fragile boat: ''Wait;

away on the schooner to which he be-

Amboy. A fund is also being collected
for the brave negro, which it is thought
will be swelled to gOodly proportions.
Congressman S. S. Cox, in letter in
closing $40 for the fund, said: Life

politics, sex, condition or color. Our
federal law makes no distinction as to
its beneficiaries; the divine law is the

NIYSTERIOUSLY SHOT.
A Young MinneapOlitan Fatally
Wounded by an Unknown Man.

Sterling P. Davidson, a young rail-
road man who lives at ia First street
south, was shot in mysterious manner
at Hopkins station last evening about
o'clock. In company with several
friends he started to go to
Lake MinnetOnka, but by mistake
got Oh the Omaha train. The party ac-
cordingly got off at Hopkins station.
AS the train started man appeared on
the rear platform of the last car, and,
drawing a revolver, fired three times at
the people who were standing on the de-
pot platform. One shot struck Davidson
in the right thigh and, taking an
upward and inward course, penetrated
the abdominal cavity, intiicting dan
gerous and probably fatal wound.
Davidson was brought to Minneapolis
and his wound was prObed five inches
by DIR. Kilvington without finding
the ball. The man who fired
the shot was unknown to Davidson,
and it is cOnjectured that he was either
drunk or shot his revolver off not in
intending to hit anyone. The conductor
was seen to catch his arm after the third
shot had been fired. The Minneapolis
police officials have telegraphed to have
him placed under arrest.
